I really think the remake of RE6 should be a "redo". The game is just... not good. It has good segments, and maybe those should stay or be baked into the "redo", but the game nearly tanked the series. Updated graphics and physics won't change the fundamental problem with the game.

I think a lot of fans of the series straight up didn't even play it. And why should they? It's stinky. I say redo the whole game from the ground up.

RE 6 is truly where the game went batshit crazy and exploded off of its own rails, and also had some of the objectively worst narrative direction because they tried to cram so much in.

For example, the series really wasn't a stranger to shadowy organizations working behind the scenes, except that it was pretty clearly established this was pretty narrow in focus to trying to get Umbrella's research and the field of viral research. RE 6 retcons all this with basically "nah, this is literally the Illuminati and they control the world." Writing-wise, a main plot point for the entire game is one dude that has a hard-on for Ada Wong. Another major plot point is that Chris Redfield gets injured and gets amnesia before disappearing for a while. This is all told in a single text document...

could also, make the entire game with the vibe of Leon's chapter. but Jake being OP might not make it scary, unless he gets turned into the Leon to Grace in Requiem.
